No idea why the host keeps walking on the guests answers when just letting him talk is the best way to prove he obviously doesn't know shit.
Didn't watch the video, but from the quotes he did wait...
The Republican just claimed he was cut off so he couldn't answer, and then still wouldn't answer.
He wants to have the "let me finish" argument where it just devolves to that. When given time to answer, they don't, just keep saying "let me finish" until they walk away.
Remember, Republicans are toddlers, and they argue like that
The host did cut him off a few times, but he cut him off specifically to keep him on focus to the questions at hand and not let him bloviate.
Yeah. When a secretary of state positively asserts that there have been allegations that the sitting president of the United States has engaged in insurrection, making them answer "what did he do?" is the only next thing that should be asked and no deviations should be allowed.
I just watched, he does jump in once or twice, but seems like satellite delay awkwardness mostly.
After laying out the question, "what are the (details of the) allegations of Biden's supposed insurrection" Sanchez gives him loads of time to look like the fool he is.
Okay buddy. Good for you I guess. You didn't watch and yet you have an opinion that's specifically related to watching.
The host cut him off to keep him on track so he can ruin his own argument instead of changing the subject.
Yeah i think the problem is when you just let them talk they will quickly change the subject and start up the gish gallop so interrupting is the only way to actually stay on topic. Otherwise you're just giving them a platform to spew a hundred lies without having a chance to refute anything.
